The right thing is the hardest thing

Sorry for gaps here and there but I have had some catching up to do. Sometimes we have to do what we have to do. Anyway, sorry for any gaps, I will post when I can.

Life has a tendency to give us choices that we don't necessarily want to have to make. I know of a man who had to turn his grandson in for murder. Now, he could have gotten his grandson out of the country, hidden him somewhere, but he stepped up and did the right thing. It is not always easy to do the right thing, especially when we know that doing so may cost us something very dear.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I think about those who were willing to lose everything for a new life here in America. They didn't really know what they were coming to; they did, however, know what they were leaving. They were willing to lose what was normal for a chance at something better.

Today's word is a quote I came across, which I added to. It says, "Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing is the same thing. It may be hard but right is ALWAYS right."

The easy way may be easier but it may not be right. It is when we are faced with those difficult situations where we have to choose between right and easy that the burden seems heaviest. After making the right decision, we can suffer for years beating ourselves up for doing what we did. If we would only realize that doing the right thing is the right thing. Others may never understand. Others may betray us. Others may "disown" us. Others may refute us. But you can NEVER go wrong by doing right.

Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing is the same thing. It may be hard but right is ALWAYS right.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
